FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention is in the field of clinical immunology and relates to compounds having immunosuppressive properties. Of particular interest is a family of halogenated phenylacetonitrile alkylaminoalkylphenyl compounds for reducing recipient acute or chronic rejection of transplanted cells or organs, and for treatment of autoimmune or inflammatory diseases, hypersensitivity reactions of the acute or delayed type, allergic or asthmatic disorders, contact dermatitis, granulomas, meningitis, arthritis, and septic shock.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Successful organ transplantation requires effective physiological and pharmacological intervention of the immune system of an organ recipient. Immunologic mechanisms are universal within the human species. But histocompatibility variations between donor and recipient lead inevitably to rejection of donor tissue by stimulation of the recipient's immune system except, perhaps, in donor-recipient pairing of the monozygotic type. One approach to intervention of immune response in an organ transplant recipient, especially a recipient targeted for an allogenic or homologous graft, is by the use of immunosuppressive drugs. These drugs have been used to prolong survival of transplanted organs in recipients in cases involving, for example, transplants of kidney, liver, heart, bone marrow and pancreas.

There are several types of immunosuppressive drugs available for use in reducing organ rejection in transplantation. Such drugs fall within three major classes, namely: antiproliferative agents, antiinflammatory-acting compounds and inhibitors of lymphocyte activation.

Examples of the class of cytotoxic or antiproliferative agents are azathioprine, cyclophosphamide and methotrexate. The compound azathioprine acts by interrupting DNA synthesis through inhibition of purine metabolism. The compound cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent which interferes with enzyme actions and cell proliferation and interrupts DNA synthesis by binding to cellular DNA, RNA, and proteins. The compound methotrexate is a folic acid antagonist which interferes with nucleotide and protein synthesis. Drugs of the antiproliferative class may be effective immunosuppressives in patients with chronic inflammatory disorders and in organ transplant recipients by limiting cell proliferation. These drugs which abrogate mitosis and cell division have severe cytotoxic side effects on normal cell populations which have a high turn-over rate, such as bone marrow cells and cells of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract lining. Accordingly, such drugs often have severe side effects, particularly, lymphopenia, neutropenia, bone marrow depression, hemorrhagic cystitis, liver damage, increased incidence of malignancy, hair loss, GI tract disturbances, and infertility.

A second class of immunosuppressive drugs for use in transplantation is provided by compounds having antiinflammatory action. Representatives of this drug class are generally known as adrenal corticosteroids and have the advantage of not exerting globally systemic cytotoxic effects. These compounds usually act by preventing or inhibiting inflammatory responses or by reducing cytokine production, or by reducing chemotaxis, or by reducing neutrophil or macrophage activation or effector function. Typical examples of adrenal corticosteroids are prednisone and prednisolone which affect carbohydrate and protein metabolism as well as immune functions. Compounds of this class are sometimes used in combination with cytotoxic agents, such as compounds of the antiproliferative class because the corticosteroids are significantly less toxic. But the adrenal corticosteroids lack specificity of effect and can exert a broad range of metabolic, antiinflammatory and auto-immune effects. Typical side effects of this class include increased organ-recipient infections and interference with wound healing, as well as disturbing hemodynamic balance, carbohydrate and bone metabolism and mineral regulation.

A third class of immunosuppressive drugs for use in organ transplantation is provided by compounds which are immunomodulatory and generally prevent or inhibit leukocyte activation. Such compounds usually act by blocking activated T-cell effector functions or proliferation, or by inhibiting cytokine production, or by preventing or inhibiting activation, differentiation or effector functions of platelet, granulocyte, B-cell, or macrophage actions. The cyclosporin family of compounds is the leading example of drugs in this class. Such compounds are polypeptide fungal metabolites which have been found to be very effective in suppressing helper T cells so as to reduce both cellular and humoral responses to newly-encountered antigens. Cyclosporins alter macrophage and lymphocyte activity by reducing cytokine production or secretion and, in particular, by interfering with activation of antigen-specific CD-4 cells, by preventing IL-2 secretion and secretion of many T-cell products, as well as by interfering with expression of receptors for these lymphokines on various cell types. Cyclosporin A, in particular, has been used extensively as an immunosuppressive agent in organ transplantation. Other microbial metabolites include cyclosporins such as cyclosporin B and cyclosporin G, and another microbial product known as FK-506. Cyclosporin A suppresses humoral immunity as well as cell-mediated reactions. Cyclosporin A is indicated for organ rejection in kidney, liver, heart, pancreas, bone-marrow and heart-lung transplants. Cyclosporin A is also useful in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, Graves ophthalmopathy, severe psoriasis, aplastic anemia, multiple-sclerosis, alopecia areata, penphigus and penphigoid, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, Behcet's disease, uveitis, pulmonary sarcocidiosis, biliary cirrhosis, myasthenia gravis and atopic dermatitis.

Cyclosporins do possess several significant disadvantages. Firstly, while cyclosporins have provided significant benefits in organ transplantation, cyclosporins are non-specific immunosuppressives. Thus, immunologic reactions to transplanted tissue are not totally impeded, requiring concomitant treatment with prednisone methylprednisolone and/or other immunosuppression agents including monoclonal antibodies such as anti-CD3 or anti-CD5/CD7. Desirable immune reactions may be reduced against other foreign antigens. Secondly, cyclosporins can produce severe side effects in many organ recipients. And cyclosporins show host-variable effects on the liver, the CNS and GI tract. Significant among the adverse side effects are damage to the kidney and liver, hyperplasia of gum tissue, refractory hypertension and increased incidence of infections and malignancy.

Thus, the need remains for efficacious, selective immunosuppressive drugs in organ transplantation, especially for grafts between less-than-perfectly matched donor-recipient pairs.

Phenylacetonitrile compounds are known for use in treatment of cardiovascular diseases. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,261,859 describes phenylacetonitrile compounds, including the well-known compound verapamil, for use as coronary dilators. U.S. Pat. No. 4,593,042 describes certain bicycloamino-substituted phenylacetonitrilealkyl compounds, including several specific compounds having an isopropyl group attached to the alkylene alpha carbon of the phenylacetonitrile nucleus. Such compounds are characterized as calcium ion channel blockers for use in treatment of hypertension. U.S. Pat. No. 4,681,970 describes bicycloamino-substituted phenylacetonitrilealkyl compounds, several specific compounds of which have a long chain alkyl group (i.e., twelve carbons) attached to the alkylene alpha carbon of the phenylacetonitrile nucleus. These compounds are characterized as calcium channel blockers for treatment of hypertension.

Phenylacetonitrile compounds have been investigated for other pharmaceutical purposes. For example, certain calcium channel blocking agents, including verapamil, have been investigated for antiproliferative effects on T-cell mitogenesis [G. Walz et al, Transplantation, 47, 33-334 (1989)]. Various calcium channel blockers, including verapamil and nifedipine, have been studied for interaction with stimulated T-lymphocytes [A. Nell et al, Scan. J. Immunology, 24, 283-290 (1986)]. German Offen. 3,826,796 published Feb. 8, 1990 describes substituted phenylacetonitrile compounds for use in overcoming resistance to antimalarial or anticancer agents. The calcium antagonists verapamil, nifedipine and nicardipine were compared and found to produce dose-dependent acute and chronic antiinflammatory effects [W. R. Chen et al, Acta. Pharmacologica Sinica, 11(3), 281-285 (1990)]. A description of the preparation of substituted phenylacetonitriles was disclosed in United Kingdom Patent No. 1,069,921. The patent, however, failed to describe any utility for the compounds.

Compounds of Formula I would provide suppression of an immune response in a human or animal subject. Immune suppression is therapeutically beneficial in organ transplantation procedures and to treat a variety of disease states. For example, compounds of Formula I would be useful to treat a recipient of a graft of a transplanted organ to reduce recipient rejection of the graft. Such compounds would be useful, in particular, for transplants of bone marrow, kidney, liver, heart-lung and pancreas organs. Compounds of Formula I would also be useful in suppressing immune response in a human or animal subject susceptible to or afflicted with an autoimmune disease or inflammatory disease. Examples of such treatable disease are systemic lupus erythematosis, multiple sclerosis, myesthenia gravis, thyroiditis, Grave's disease, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura, mixed connective tissue disease, idiopathic Addism's disease, Sjogren's syndrome, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, glomerulonephritis, inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's Disease. Compounds of Formula I would also be useful in suppressing immune response in a human or animal subject susceptible to or afflicted with an allergy, such as an asthmatic condition or reaction, urticaria or with airway hypersensitivity. Compounds of Formula I would also be useful in suppressing immune response in a human or animal subject afflicted with or susceptible to septic shock. Compounds of Formula I would also be useful in preventing or suppressing acute or delayed-type hypersensitivity responses or conditions resulting from or associated with hypersensitivity responses such as contact dermatitis, hemolytic anemias, antibody-induced thrombocytopenia, Goodpasture's syndrome, hypersensitivity, pneumonitis, glomerulonephritis, granulomas, thyroiditis, encephelomyelitis, and meningitis.

The immunosuppressive effect of compounds of Formula I arises from inhibition of regulatory, effector, or accessory cells. For example, the immunosuppression of granulocytes, typically the neutrophil, eosinophil and basophil sub-types, as well as mononuclear phagocytic cells, such as monocytes, macrophages and histiocytes, may provide therapeutic benefits for transplantation and in treatment of the above-mentioned disease states. Immunosuppression of lymphocytes, such as T- and B-cell sub-types, likewise can produce therapeutic benefit.

Compounds of Formula I would be useful in treating organs prior to transplant. For example, an organ removed from a donor could be stored or transported in a bath containing an immunosuppressive compound of Formula I. The immunosuppressive compound would act to inhibit donor leukocyte reactivity.

Compounds of Formula I would also be useful in adjunct therapy involving, typically, coadministration of a second immunosuppressive compound of Formula I or coadministration of an immunosuppressive agent of a different class of compounds, such as a cyclosporin compound, or a Fujisawa FK-506 (macrolide lactone) compound orrapamycin, or a glucocorticoid, or an antiproliferative agent, or a monoclonal antibody such as an anti-CD3 (anti-T cell receptor antibody) or anti-CD5/CD7 or anti-CD4 agent, or an anti-IL-2 receptor (anti-cytokine receptor antibody) agent or an anti-IL-2 (anti-cytokine antibody), or a Nippon NKT-01 (15-deoxyspergualin) or a Syntex RS-61443.

The term “alkylthio” embraces radicals containing a linear or branched alkyl group, of one to about ten carbon atoms attached to a divalent sulfur atom, such as a methythio group. The term “aryl” embraces aromatic radicals such as phenyl, naphthyl and biphenyl. The term “aralkyl” embraces aryl-substituted alkyl radicals such as benzyl, diphenylmethyl, triphenylmethyl, phenylethyl, phenylbutyl and diphenylethyl. The terms “benzyl” and “phenylmethyl” are interchangeable. The terms “aryloxy” and “arylthio” denote, respectively, aryl groups having an oxygen or sulfur atom through which the radical is attached to a nucleus, examples of which are phenoxy and phenylthio. The terms “sulfinyl” and “sulfonyl”, whether used alone or linked to other terms, denotes respectively divalent radicals SO and SO₂. The term “aralkoxy”, alone or within another term, embraces an aryl group attached to an alkoxy group to form, for example, benzyloxy. The term “acyl” whether used alone, or within a term such as acyloxy, denotes a radical provided by the residue after removal of hydroxyl from an organic acid, examples of such radical being acetyl and benzoyl. “Lower alkanoyl” is an example of a more preferred sub-class of acyl. The term “amido” denotes a radical consisting of nitrogen atom attached to a carbonyl group, which radical may be further substituted in the manner described herein. The amido radical can be attached to the nucleus of a compound of the invention through the carbonyl moiety or through the nitrogen atom of the amido radical. The term “alkenylalkyl” denotes a radical having a double-bond unsaturation site between two carbons, and which radical may consist of only two carbons or may be further substituted with alkyl groups which may optionally contain additional double-bond unsaturation. The term “heteroaryl” embraces aromatic ring systems containing one or two hetero atoms selected from oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur in a ring system having five or six ring members, examples of which are thienyl, furanyl, pyridinyl, thiazolyl, pyrimidyl and isoxazolyl. Such heteroaryl may be attached as a substituent through a carbon atom of the heteroaryl ring system, or may be attached through a carbon atom of a moiety substituted on a heteroaryl ring-member carbon atom, for example, through the methylene substituent of imidazolemethyl moiety. Also, such heteroaryl may be attached through a ring nitrogen atom as long as aromaticity of the heteroaryl moiety is preserved after attachment.

Specific examples of alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, methylbutyl, dimethylbutyl, neopentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, n-nonyl, n-decyl, n-undecyl, n-dodecyl, n-tridecyl, n-tetradecyl and n-hexadecyl. Typical alkenyl and alkynyl groups may have one unsaturated bond, such as an allyl group, or may have a plurality of unsaturated bonds, with such plurality of bonds either adjacent, such as allene-type structures, or in conjugation, or separated by several saturated carbons.

It is preferred that certain selections of radicals for R¹ be avoided. Radicals for R¹ which should preferably be avoided are alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl moieties having a hydroxy, alkoxy or double or triple bond attached to the alpha carbon of the moiety, that is, the carbon attached to the nitrogen atom of Formula I on which R¹ is substituted. It is also preferred that certain selections of radicals for R⁶ be avoided. Radicals for R⁴ which should preferably be avoided are sulfhydryl, amino and mono- and di-substituted amino.

Also included in the family of compounds of Formula I are isomeric forms including diastereoisomers, regioisomers and the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof. The term “pharmaceutically-acceptable salts” embraces salts commonly used to form alkali metal salts and to form addition salts of free acids or free bases, including quaternary ammonium salts. The nature of the salt is not critical, provided that it is pharmaceutically-acceptable. Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salts of compounds of Formulas I may be prepared from an inorganic acid or from an organic acid. Examples of such inorganic acids are hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, nitric, carbonic, sulfuric and phosphoric acid. Appropriate organic acids may be selected from aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic, heterocyclic, carboxylic and sulfonic classes of organic acids, example of which are formic, acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, gluconic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, glucuronic, maleic, fumaric, pyruvic, aspartic, glutamic, benzoic, anthranilic, p-hydroxybenzoic, salicyclic, phenylacetic, mandelic, embonic (pamoic), methansulfonic, ethanesulfonic, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic, pantothenic, benzenesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, sulfanilic, mesylic, cyclohexylaminosulfonic, stearic, algenic, β-hydroxybutyric, malonic, galactaric and galacturonic acid. Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable base addition salts of compounds of Formulas I include metallic salts made from aluminium, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc or organic salts made from N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumine (N-methylglucamine) and procaine. All of these salts may be prepared by conventional means from the corresponding compound of Formula I by reacting, for example, the appropriate acid or base with the compound of Formula I.

Compounds of general Formula I can possess one or more asymmetric carbon atoms and are thus capable of existing in the form of optical isomers as well as in the form of racemic or nonracemic mixtures thereof. The optical isomers can be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixtures according to conventional processes, for example by formation of diastereoisomeric salts by treatment with an optically active acid or base. Examples of appropriate acids are tartaric, diacetyltartaric, dibenzoyltartaric, ditoluoyltartaric and camphorsulfonic acid and then separation of the mixture of diastereoisomers by crystallization followed by liberation of the optically active bases from these salts. A different process for separation of optical isomers involves the use of a chiral chromatography column optimally chosen to maximize the separation of the enantiomers. Still another available method involves synthesis of covalent diastereoisomeric molecules by reacting compounds of Formula I with an optically pure acid in an activated form or an optically pure isocyanate. The synthesized diastereoisomers can be separated by conventional means such as chromatography, distillation, crystallization or sublimation, and then hydrolyzed to deliver the enantiomerically pure compound. The optically active compounds of Formula I can likewise be obtained by utilizing optically active starting materials. These isomers may be in the form of a free acid, a free base, an ester or a salt.

A family of specific compounds of interest within Formula I consists of the following compounds and pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, as follows:

GENERAL SYNTHETIC PROCEDURES

Compounds embraced by Formula I may be prepared in accordance with Scheme I, which follows, wherein each of the R substituents are as defined in Formula I above, except where further noted.

Synthesis of the compounds of Formula I can be achieved by the reaction of bis-electrophile, sequentially, with two nucleophiles (Scheme I). The bis-electrophile can be, for example, an alkyl chain, substituted at the desired positions with a halogen or a sulfonic acid ester or the like or by a group that can be transformed into such an electrophile. It may be convenient, upon treatment with a nucleophile, that the two electrophilic groups have a differential reactivity toward nucleophilic substitution, e.g., a chloro group and a bromo group. Examples of bis-electrophiles are 3-bromo-chloropropane, 4-bromo-chlorobutane, 4-bromobutane-1-para-toluenesulfonate, 5-chloro-1-methyl-butane trifluoromethanesulfonate and the like. Examples of nucleophiles that can be reacted with the above bis-electrophiles are the anions of aryl-propionitriles (compound 1, scheme I) and aryl-acetic acid esters (compound 17, scheme IV), prepared using non-nucleophilic bases, and primary or secondary amines (compound 5, scheme I). Non-nucleophilic bases are, for example, sodium hydride, potassium hydride, lithium di-iso-propyl amide, lithium dicyclohexylamide and the like. Non-nucleophilic bases that are considered weaker bases then those discussed above include, for example, dimethylamino pyridine, potassium carbonate, silver oxide and diazabicycloundecane. Electrophilic groups are indicated in by E₁ and E₂.

Solvents useful for the preparation of thses compounds are dipolar aprotic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsufoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile, dimethyl acetamide, sulfolane, tetra-methyl urea, dimethyl acetamide and the like. Protic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, tert-butyl alcohol or non-protic solvents such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, lutidine, collidine, or benzofuran can also be used. Ketones such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone are also useful especially when exchanging electrophiles as in the case of, for example, iodide for chlorine.

The preparations illustrated in Scheme I can be at temperatures of between 0° C. and about 200° C. Temperatures of between about room temperature and 100° C. are preferred since it is convenient to implement the conversions at the reflux temperature of the reaction solvent.

The aryl nitrile (1) can be alkylated with a protected aminoalkyl-E₁ reagent where E₁ represents halogen, tosylate or a similar electrophilic leaving group. A preferred protecting group (P) is a succinimide or a phthalimide as is illustrated in Step 2.

Bases that are useful in this step include alkyl lithium reagents such as tert-butyl lithium, lithium amides such as lithium dicyclohexyl amide (LDA), magnesium salts such as tert-butyl magnesium, alsoholates such as sodium ethoxide or potassium tert-butoxide, metal hydrides such as potassium hydride, sodium hydride or calcium hydride or, metal hydroxides such as potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide or tetra-substituted ammonium hydroxides or strong organic bases such as dimethylaminopyridines (DMAP).

Solvents for these alkylations can be protic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, tert-butyl alcohol or non-protic solvents such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, lutidine, collidine or benzofuran. In the case of alcohols, the solvents may be the same alcohol as is used to form the alcoholate anion used to form the anion of the starting material (1). A special class of useful solvents are the dipolar aprotic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile, dimethyl acetamide, sulfolane, tetra-methyl urea, dimethyl acetamide and the like.

A preferred alkylation method is to use a phase transfer system. An example of a phase transfer system is a tetra substituted ammonium hydroxide such as tetra butyl ammonium chloride in water mixed with a partially miscible organic solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform or tetrachloroethylene {W. P. Weber, G. W. Gokel, Phase Transfer Catalysis in Organic Synthesis, Springer-Verlag, Berlin Heidelberg, 1977}.

Mixtures of the abovesolvents may also be used to improve the solubility of reactants, reaction intermediates or products, control reaction temperatures at reflux or encourage precipitation of the desired product or an undesired impurity or reaction product and may be useful for the control of the reaction temperature.

The temperature of the reaction can vary from about −100° C. to about 285° C. Lower temperatures are preferred for reactions carried out using organic metal reagents, e.g., −100 to −30° C. whereas reflux temperatures are preferred for use with metal alcoholate bases, e.g., abot 65° C. for methanol, organic bases, e.g., about 170° C. for collidine, 153° C. for DMF or 285° C. for sulfolane, and for phase transfer reactions.

The preparation of the reagent used in step 2 is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction using a well known preformed potassium salt of a phthalimide that is an article of commerce. Preferred conditions for implementing a nucleophilic substitution are illustrated in Scheme I.

Production of the primary amines (8) or their acid addition salts, which are useful intermediates as well as immune modolation agents, by removal of the protecting group is illustrated in Step 3 of Scheme II. Hydrazines or a hydrazine hydrate are the preferred regents for accomplishing this type of transformation. Most preferred is hydrazine hydrate.

The intermediate primary amines (8, Scheme II), which may also be immune modulation agents, may be substituted on nitrogen by reductive alylation with an aldehyde, ketone or aldehyde or ketone equivalent as is illustrated in Scheme II. The preferred method of preparation of compound 9 is treatment of the amine with the required aldehyde in the presence of a metal cyanoborohydride reagent such as sodium cyanoborohydride or potassium cyanoborohydride substituted with an organic radical such as is disclosed in GB Patent number 1,390,214. Solvents useful in this reaction are alcohols such as methanol or ethanol or solvent mixtures such as an alcohol and tetrahydrofuran or dimethylformamide. A temperature range is room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent, e.g., 65 to 153° C. It should be noted that this reductive alkylation may be repeated with the same or a different aldehyde or ketone to provide the compounds in Scheme I. In addition, the Schiff base, imminium salt or enamine between 8 and an aldehyde or ketone may be prepared, with or without isolation, at an intermediate step and subsequently reduced as above is such an intermediate step is desired.

Acylation of 8 to produce an amide is a alternative procedure for the preparation of the compounds of this invention. Suitable acylating agents are the acid halide, mixed anhydride or anhydride of the carboxylic acid illustrated in Scheme II. The preparation of such intermediates are well known in the art or may be articles of commerce, c.f., discussion of Scheme II.

Non-protic solvents are preferred for the acylation reaction although alcohols such as methanol or isopropanol can be used especially at low temperatures. Examples are ethers such as THF or diethyl ether, ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone or acetone, dipolar aprotic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile, dimethyl acetamide, sulfolane, tetra-methyl urea, dimethyl acetamide and the like, halogenated solvents such as methylene chloride, chloroform or methylene chloride or solvents such as heptane, toluene, or cyclohexane.

The acylation reaction illustrated in Scheme II can be carried out at room temperature or from about −80° C. to the reflux temperature of the desired solvent, e.g., about 285° C. for sulfolane.

Reduction of the amide to give the product 9 of this invention as is shown in Scheme II is preferably carried out using a hydride donor such as lithium aluminum hydride, potassium borohydride, aluminum hydride or a borane complex or diborane.

Solvents preferred for this reduction are ethers such as THF of diethyl ether, halogenated solvents such as methylene chloride or tetrachloroethylene or mixtures of these solvents. If higher temperatures are required, high boiling alcohols such as hexanol, octanol, dodecanol or cyclohexanol may be used preferably with less reactive reagents such as potassium borohydride. Suitable temperatures for this reduction are from between about −80° C. to about 260° C. Room temperature is preferred for reactions using, for example, the borane complex with THF in THF solvent as the reducing agent.

Product 6 can then be prepared by reacting the secondary amine (9) with electrophile (10) under similar conditions as illustrated in step 2 of Scheme I.

Step 1 in Scheme III can be carried out as in Step 1 in Scheme II. The choice of reagents, temperatures of the reaction and solvents for the reaction are the same as those exemplified in Scheme II. The product of this reaction is utilized in the same fashion to produce compound 11.

In Step 2 of scheme III, an alternative alkylating agent 12 is used as illustrated to prepare compound 11 wherein the electrophilic group E₁ is as defined above in Scheme I and Scheme II, R²⁶ and R²⁷ are defined above, and the carboxylate portion of the alkylating agent is protected as an ester. The alcohol portion of the ester function, represented as R, may be simple such as methyl or ethyl or more hindered such as tert-butyl or isoamyl. Other suitable alcohol functions are, for example, dimethylcyclohexyl, benzyl, substituted aryl, substituted benzyl.

The R group may be removed from compound 12 to give an intermediate carboxylic acid by a number of standard ways well known to those skilled in the art. For example, the ester may be hydrolyxed using an acid such as hydrochloric acid or a base such as sodium or potassium hydroxide at room temperature or with heating to reflux temperature. Some esters, for example benzyl esters and substituted benzyl esters, may be removed by catalytic hydrogenation. Suitable catalysts are Raney nickel, palladium and palladium on carbon, or platinum or platinum oxide in solvents such as methyl or ethyl alcohol or acetic acid at hydrogen pressures of from atmospheric pressure to about 1000 psi and reaction temperatures of from room temperature to about 200° C. High temperature and/or pressure reactions may require that the conversion be carried out in a special reaction vessel (bomb). Hydrogen exchange using, for example, cyclohexene with palladium on carbon at reflux is also useful.

The carboxylic acid or carboxylate salt product obtained from the above reactions may then be converted into and activated carboxylate derivative (13) such as when COX is an acid halide, an anhydride or a mixed anhydride. These conversions are well known to those skilled in the art, for example, acid chlorides obtained by treatment of the acid or salt with thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride or mixed anhydrides obtained by treatment with isobutyl chloroformate. Anhydrides can be prepared by treatment of an acid chloride with an acid salt or the acid with phosphorus pentoxide.

Secondary or tertiary amide formation can be accomplished by treatment of an activated carboxyl group with a secondary or tertiary amine using methods well known to those skilled in the art. Typically, these condensations are carried out in solvents such as THF, diethyl ether, methylene chloride, acetone, pyridine or toluene at temperatures of between about −80° C. to 100° C. A base such as triethylamine, DMAP, N-methyl-morpholine, sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate or the like may be added to accept any protic acids formed during the reaction.

Amide formation can also take place using direct exchange of an amine for the ester alcohol. This type of exchange is preferably carried out at reflux in a solvent such as toluene or THF that will allow distillation or co-distillation or azeotrope formation with the product alcohol. Alternatively, molecular sieves may be used to remove the alcohol from the mixture as it is formed.

Reduction of the amides can be accomplished using hydride reagents. Thus, reduction of amide 14 gives the product 6 of this invention as is shown in Scheme III. This reduction is preferably carried out using a hydride donor such as lithium aluminum hydride, potassium borohydride, aluminum hydride, a borane complex or diborane.

Solvents preferred for this reduction are ethers such as THF or diethyl ether, halogenated solvents such as methylene chloride or tetrachloroethylene or mixtures of these solvents. If higher temperatures are required, high boiling alcohols such as hexanol, octanol, dodecanol or cyclohexanol may be used preferably with less reactive reagents such as potassium borohydride. Suitable temperatures for this reduction are from between about −80° C. to about 260° C. Room temperature is preferred for reactions using, for example, the borane complex with THF as the reducing agent.

Scheme IV is an alternative method of preparation of the compounds of this invention. It is especially useful for providing novel, optical active intermediates for the synthesis of compound 6. Compounds 17, 18 or 19 can be resolved by crystallization or chromatographically when R is an optically active alcohol. The acid additions salts of the compounds where R═H and an optically active base can also be separated (resolved) to provide optically active acids upon protonation with an acid. In the latter case, re-esterification may be required.

The ester is alkylated following anion formation with a base with an electrophile (Step 1). The product is then alkylated a second time with a bis electrophile in Step 2 to give product.

Bases that are useful in these steps include alkyl lithium reagents such as tert-butyl lithium, lithium amides such as lithium dicyclohexyl amide (LDA), magnesium salts such as tert-butyl magnesium, alcoholates such as sodium ethoxide or potassium tert-butoxide, metal hydrides such as potassium hydride, sodium hydride or calcium hydride or, metal hydroxides such as anhydrous potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide or tetra-substituted ammonium hydroxides or stron organic bases such as dimethylaminopyridines (DMAP).

Solvents for these alkylations can be protic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, tert-butyl alcohol or non-protic solvents such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, pyridine, lutidine, collidine or benzofuran. In the case of alcohols, the solvent may be the same alcohol as is used to form the alcoholate anion used to form the anion of the starting material 16. A special class of useful solvents are the dipolar aprotic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile, dimethyl acetamide, sulfolane, tetra-methyl urea, dimethyl acetamide and the like.

Mixtures of the above solvents may also be used to improve the solubility of reactants, reaction intermediates or products, control reaction temperatures at refulx or encourage precipitation of the desired product or an undesired impurity or reaction product and may be useful for the contraol of the reaction temperatures.

The temperature of the reactions can vary from about −100° C. to about 285° C. Lower temperatures are preferred for reactions carried out using organic metal reagents, e.g., −100 to −30° C. with eventual warming to room temperature whereas refulx temperatures are preferred for use with metal alcoholate bases, e.g., about 65° C. for methanol, organic bases, e.g., about 170° C. for collidine, 153° C. for DMF or 285° C. for sulfolane.

The electrophiles for Step 3, Scheme IV are as illustrated in Scheme I.

Hydrolysis of compound 19 followed by activation of the carboxyl and treatment with ammonia provides product compound 20. Methods of hydrolysis, active carboxyl group formation and the subsequent formation of an amide are detailed for the preparation of the amides in Scheme III.

Dehydration of the amide 20 to the product (6) of this invention is shown in Step 8 of Scheme IV. Dehydration of the amide can be accomplished with, for example, phosphorus oxychloride, thionyl chloride or phosphorus pentoxide. Solvents for this reaction can be, for example, toluene, xylene, decalin, tetrachloroethane, methylene chloride, chloroform or the like. In the case of phosphorus oxychloride and thionyl chloride, it may be convenient to use the reagent as the reaction solvent. The temperature of the reaction can be varied from room temperature to about 200° C.

Other factors that can improve the yields and the quality of the products from the above reactions are the use of an inert gas atmosphere and/or a drying agent. Examples of inert gases are nitrogen, argon and helium. Examples of agents for drying the reaction atmosphere are calcium sulphate and calcium chloride. References for the discussion above are: 1. H.

Biological Evaluation

Assay A: Suppression of Mitogen-Stimulated Proliferation (Murine)(Culture Conditions I)

Lymphocyte activation can be polyclonally stimulated by plant lectins and other mitogens that induce blast transformation and mitosis. Certain mitogens like Concanavalin A (ConA), preferentially activate T-lymphocytes. Exposure to ConA results in polyclonal activation of T-cells and can be used as an in vitro index for general immunomodulation of pan T-cell activity. In this assay spleen cells harvested from female Balb/c mice were incubated at 37° C., in 95% air/5% CO₂ atmosphere in 96 well microtiter plates (10⁵ cells/well) for 5 days with Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium [25 mM HEPES 2 nM L-glutamine, 5% fetal bovine serum and 2-mercaptoethanol (40 μM)], concanavalin A (ConA) alone (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.; 1.0 μg/ml) or ConA in the presence of test compounds (0.001-25 μM). Inhibition of ConA-stimulated proliferation was measured by addition of the calorimetric indicator of growth metabolic activity or viability, MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide; (100 μl/well, 1 mg/ml) Sigma) [Mosmann, T., J. of Immunological Methods, 65, 55-63, 1988]. After four hours, plates were centrifuged (1200 rpm) media supernatants aspirated and dye loaded cells were solubilized in isopropanol (150 μl/well). The absorbance was measured on an ELISA plate reader with a test wavelength of 570 nm and a reference of 630 nm. The IC₅₀ values for active immunosuppressant compounds were calculated by four parameter logistic regression analysis of the results [Delean et al, Am. J. Physiol., 235, 397 (1978)]. Results are shown in Table I.

Assay B: Suppression of Mitogen-Stimulated Proliferation(Murine)(Culture Conditions II.)

It is known that lymphocyte activation can be polyclonally stimulated by plant lectins and other mitogenic substances that induce blast transformation and mitosis. The plant lectin concanavalin A (conA) preferentially induces activation and proliferation of T lymphocytes. Exposure of T cells to conA results in polyclonal T cell activation, and this response can be used to determine the in vitro index of immunomodulatory effects of test compounds on pan-T cell activation. Spleen cells were harvested asceptically from female Balb/c mice, and cells were extruded by compression in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.0). Cells were pelleted by centrifugation (300×g/5 min) and erythrocytes were lysed by resuspension of the splen cells in a hypotonic solution (5 ml per spleen) containing 0.14M NH₄Cl and 0.017M Tris base, pH 7.2, and incubation for 5 min. An equal volume of freshly prepared medium [lscovels modified Dulbecco's medium containing 2 mM L-glutamine, 5% heat inactivated (56° C./45 min) fetal bovine serum and 40 uM 2-mercaptoethanol] .was added to stop cell lysis. The remaining cells were pelleted, resuspended in medium, filtered through a cotton plug to remove debris, and the leukocytes were then counted. Leukocytes (10⁵ cells per 10 ul per well) were incubated at 37° C. in a 95% air/6% CO₂ atmosphere in 96 well microtiter plates for 3 days. At the start of culture conA (1 ug/ml, SIGMA Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.) alone or in combination with test compound (0.0001-60 uM final) or vehicle control (0.6% DMSO or ethanol). All test compounds were dissolved in 95% ethanol or 100% DMSO, and subsequent dilutions were prepared in media. Inhibition of conA stimulated T cell proliferation was measured using a calorimetric indicator of cell growth and proliferation, MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2 diphenyltetrazolium bromide; 100 ul of a 1 mg/ml solution per well, SIGMA][Mosmann, T., 1988. J. Immunol. Methods 65, 55-63.]Cells were loaded with MTT dye at 37° C. for 4 hours; media supernatants were then aspirated from the cell pellets. MTT loaded cells were solubilized in isopropanol (150 ul per well). Light absorbance was measured at a test wavelength of 570 nM and a reference wavelength of 650 nM using a spectrophotometer. EC₅₀ values for immunosuppressive compounds were estimated by four parameter logistical regression analysis of the optical density data [Delean, A., Munson, P. J. and D. Robard, 1978. Am,. J. Physiol. 235:397.

Assay C: One-Way Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (Human)

The mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) is an assay that measures T-cell activation and mitosis which occurs when lymphocytes from different major and minor histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotypes are cocultured. This response is considered a “one-way MLR” when stimulator cells are made unresponsive by inhibition of DNA synthesis (treatment with mitomycin-C or gamma-irradiation) prior to coculture with responder cells. This assay can be used as an indicator of the cellular immunomodulation mechanisms involved in transplant rejection. In this assay, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PMNC) were used as the responder cell population and were isolated from normal donor blood as follows: Blood samples were collected in LeucoPREP™ tubes (Becton Dickinson, Lincoln Park, N.J.) and the mononuclear cell preparation was obtained by following the manufacturers procedures. Isolated mononuclear cells were co-incubated at 6×10⁴ cells/well with a stimulator cell line at 2×10⁴ cells/well in RPMI 1640 medium containing 5% fetal bovine serum and 2-mercaptoethanol (40 μM). The stimulator cell line, Raji, which was derived from a human Burkitt lymphoma (American Type Culture Collection, Rockville Md.) was previously inactivated by mitomycin-C treatment (Sigma, St. Louis Mo., 25 μg/ml, 37° for 30 minutes). After repeated washings of mitomycin-C from the stimulator cell line, cocultures were incubated in 96 well microtiter plates at 37° C., in 95% air/5% CO₂ atmosphere for 120 hours in the presence or absence of test compounds (0.1-25 μM). Inhibition of proliferation was measured by reduced incorporation of ³H-thymidine (0.5 μCi/well, added during the last 24 hours of the assay). The IC₅₀ values for the immunosuppressant compounds were calculated by four parameter logistic regression analysis of the results [Delean et al, Id.] Results are shown in Table I.
